WCC webinar: Churches contributing to ending violence against children in society at large

Описание: The World Council of Churches advocates for children's well-being through a variety of projects at local, national and global levels. Being present – and often the gathering point – in rural and urban communities, churches have a unique position to influence society at all levels, from parents and school teachers to decision makers in public and private sectors.

ebinars are an occasion to meet "virtually", online (through the link provided below) to study an issue of joint interest. Webinars also allow participants from different parts of the world to exchange experiences and views and to develop new initiatives, taking existing expertise and tools into account.
